The Rocks, pub

The Wine Odyssey Australia building is located on the corner of Argyle Street and Harrington Street at The Rocks. This heritage listed building was originally the British Seaman's Hotel, built in 1886 in the Federation Free Classical Style. It is now a fine food and wine bar.

  6. In 1886 I bet people thought it was a big and impressive pub, in a great location. I bet they still do :)
